but was obliged to dispose of his bust
ness on account Of failing health.

TIE MN STORE OF CHARLES MURPHY.
OF the many transformations wrought
in numerous business blocks about town
within the past few years. none is greater
or more pleasing to the eye than can be
seen at g. Water Street. the elegant
quarters now occupied by Chas. Murphy,
Skowhegan's popular young tailor and
halter, whose success, in business can be
no better illustrated than by what here
greets us Starting in business some
eight years since, on 4 small capital, the
growth of his trade has been pho
nomenal, twice demanding larger quar-
tiers, to which he responded. until at
last he resolved on store that would
answer all demands, and purchased the
Nutter block on W iter Street and has re.
iitted it with the above result.
With plenty of room to draw from and
50 capable an architect and carpenter, Mr..
II. ". CLANCY, who had entire charge Of
the Job, work was begun Immediately
upon the removal OF the Smiths to their
new Madison Street store, and only last
week was completed. The new store has
a frontage OF y feet, taken up BY two
plate glass windows, each s6Xlp, in size,
the remainder Of the space serving a. an
entrance; the interior Is 10 feet deep,
divided into a salesrOom, stock room, and
farther back the work room, the lightest
and finest in town The salcsroOm is II
feet posted, is finished in its entirety in
brown ash, with tables, counters. and Il
large case to correspond. while the cell
ing is pannelcd in a most tasty manner
in design of Mr.. Murphys, and the floor
is of polished hard wood. The show la
blcs are the work Of Robinson Bros, aud
the credit of the remainder is due to Mr.
CLANCY, who here shows the skill he is
capable Of when allowed full scope to cN-
crt himself.
The same fair dealings to which Mr.,
Murphy owes his success in his chosen
business will characterize his actions in
these new quarters, and while he extends
IA cordial greeting to all to call, he will
next week have a notice for our readers
to pcruse with profit we trust, to all
parties concerned.

Give Them a Chance!

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very wonder
full machinery it is. Not only the larger
air-passages, but the thousands Of little
tubes and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half do their work.
And what they do, they cannot do well.
Call 1t cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the family
structi0ns, all are bad. All ought to be
got rid Of. There is just one sure way to
get rid Of them. That is to take Bos-

win sell you At Is cents bottle. Even IL
else has failed you, you may
depend upon this for certain.

Base Ball.

Our people were treated to quantities
of base ball last week, but the game of
Saturday with the Colbys was the only
one to merit the attention Of an audience.
On Wednesday, the Carrabasets of No.
Arson, played the Solons, both sides
playing n loose game, and accomplishing
little, beside running up big score and
furnishing lots of amusement for the
spectators. After long time at it, the
game was called at the seventh inning,
with the Carrabassets in the lead, the
score standing "a to "a.
On Thursday the GARDENERS of Gard-
ner, came to cross hats with Skowhegan,
and having drawn men from AugcSta and
Bath, it was expected they would give
our boys something of game, but the
opposite was the case. The large crowd
in attendance, saw our boys have sport
with the visitors, up to the seventh in
ming, when the score stood 2G to 3, at
which time, at GARDENERS request, the
game was called, and once more the news
was carried down the Kennebec, that
quite base ball team inhabits this sec
ton.
ON Saturday the Colbys made their sec
ond appearance of the season. The day
was little friged, and only about 60 saw
the fine contest, pronounced the best
game of the season. In the first inning
the Colbys made five runs, and our boys
soon saw there was no picnic in store for
them. From that time, the excitement
was intense, as the boys went to work to
overcome the lead, which they did not
succeed in doing until the sixth inning,
meanwhile holding their opponents down
to 2 scores for the rest of the game, the
score standing at the close. 10 to : in Our
favor. Skowhegan was minus two good
men, but those substitute d, Whittier and
Addition, gave the people an idea Of our
reserve force, as they accepted every
chance without an error, and Addition
supplemented the whole with two base
hits.
The last game of the season will occur
Saturday next, Oct. LIST at which time the
Colbys will again visit us. and the
management are looking for the finest
game yet. Give the boys good at
tendance in this their last game, thus
showing you appreciate their efforts in
bringing the championship to Skowhegan.

was for Is years in the State Prison. not

Sept. 18th 1t has been stated that this
was severe sentence. The reverse is
the fact. Breaking and entering a dwell

laws, one of the highest of crimes, and
penalty is imprisonment for life, or any
term of years" Loan had just complet-
